Calculated the gravitational potential energy of a 93.0 kg sky diver who is 550 m above the ground

1 answer:

4 0

Equation for Gravitation Potential Energy...
GPe = m·g·h
where m = mass in kg = 93.0 kg
g = force of gravity = 9.81 m/s²
<span>h = height in meters = 550m
</span>
GPe = mgh
GPe = (93)(9.81)(550)
GPe = 501781.5 Joules (J)
GPe = 5.02 x 10⁵ J (rounded & in scientific notation)

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of a person of mass 93.0kg who is 550m above the ground is GPe = 501781.5 Joules (J)

Calculate the current through a 3.0 Ď‰ resistor with a voltage of 9.0 v across it.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer: 3 A

Explanation:

According to<u> Ohm's law</u>:

$V=R.I$

Where:

$V=9 V$ is the voltage

$R=3\Omega$ is the resistance of the resistor

$I$ is the electric current (the value we want to find)

Isolating $I$ :

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

$I=\frac{9 V}{3\Omega}$

Finally:

$I=3 A$

A diagram of a closed circuit with a power source on the left labeled 120 V. There are 3 resistors in parallel, separate paths,

Zina [86]

1) The equivalent resistance is $2.73\Omega$

2) The voltage in the circuit is 120 V

3) The total current in the circuit is 44.0 A

Explanation:

Resistors are said to be in parallel when they have the same potential difference at their terminals.

The formula to calculate the equivalent resistance for three resistors in parallel is:

$\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}$

where $R_1, R_2, R_3$ are the resistances of the three resistors.

In this problem, the resistance of each resistor is:

$R_1 = 5.0 \Omega$

$R_2 = 10.0 \Omega$

$R_3 = 15.0 \Omega$

Substituting,

$\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{15}=\frac{11}{30}$

So the equivalent resistance is

$R_T = \frac{30}{11}=2.73 \Omega$

In this problem we are told that the three resistors are connected in parallel. This means that their terminals are connected to the same point of the circuit: therefore, this means that they also have the same potential difference across them.

Therefore, the voltage in each branch containing each resistor is the same, and it is equal to the voltage of the battery, which is

$V=120 V$
